WATERPROOF VARNISH.

No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, RALPH E. Dmos and LIONEL SCHUSTER, citizens of the United States, residing in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in WaterproofVarnish, of which the following is a specification.

The invention is water-proof, quick-drying varnish, suitable especially as a substitute for liquid shellac, either as a varnish or wood filler, or as a substitute for other quickdrying varnish. It comprises a solution of a gum, preferabl with a wax, sucli as carnauba wax, dissolved in spirits of turpentine or other appropriate solvent.

The formula which has been found to give best results is:

Alcohol-soluble Manila gum; 200 pounds. Alcohol 40 gallons. Carnauba wax; 100 ounces. Spirits of turpentine 4 gallons.

80 agitate thoroughly. I

Specification of Letters Patent.

Manila gum, in alcohol,

Patented Jame, 1920.

Application filed November 22, 1918. Serial No. 263,876

We do not limit ourselves to the precise ingradients or proportions. The alcohol may be of any kind, but it is most advantageous to use denatured alcohol. Manila gum is the gum more particularly contemplated, but in some instances other a cohol-soluble gums may be employed. Instead of spirits of turpentine to dissolve the wax, benzin, gasolene or naphtha may be selected, though with less beneficial results.

What we claim as newv is:

1. A varnish suitable as a substitute for liquid shellac, comprising a solution of Ms.- nila gum with dissolved carnauba wax.

' 2. A varnish suitable as a-substitute for liquid shellac, comprising an alcohol solution of Manila gum with dissolved carnauba wax.

3. A varnish suitable as a.. substitute for RALPH E.- DINGS. 1 LIONEL scHUsTEB;
